And a project ruins another weekend

I have a paint-soaked weekend ahead of me. We turned down many fun events including a 'Wine and Dine' event in Milwaukee, a huge block party in downtown Racine, and Shaun's 10 year high school reunion in Chicago....to stay home and finish these stupid bookcases. I took one for the team and came home from work early today so I could don my painting clothes

pour myself a delicious frosty Fat Tire (hey, it's after 1pm!)

And get started painting this beast of a built-in. Yeah, we totally stole that glass from a bar....they don't make women's purses so big for nothing, right? Oh, and you're welcome for all the thumbs-up in this post. And for talking about beer twice in one week.

Painting clothes are not supposed to be cute. I know about projects taking over weekends. I was going to go to the Nesters garage sale tomorrow but I am getting guilty feelings for all the unfinished projects in every room.

hahaha I should take a page from your book. We have a lot to accomplish this weekend, but instead of staying at home and getting things done we'll be gone the entire time for different things. I know it'll be fun, but come Sunday night I'll be exhausted and stressed with all of the things I need to complete before B's parents arrive for Cdn Thanksgiving next Friday!

Anyway, painting can't be all that bad if you're drinking beer... right? :)

Have fun! It sucks to spend your weekend on a project, but you'll be glad once it's done!

My husband would applaud your choice of beer. (I'm not much of a beer connoisseur myself, but it does look pretty good in that glass.) Oh, and we have entire shelves in our cupboard filled with glasses from restaurants/bars. :)

Been there, done that! Painting our exterior took an entire month of nothing but painting every spare minute. I was really starting to get jealous of the people going for walks who where watching me paint. But alas, it was worth it.

Beer makes every project better....and if you have to take off work to paint and miss fun things....beer is defiantly called for! And your painting clothes are so much better than mine. I love the captain's pose!

About Me

My name is Sara. I am a home owner/renovator, photographer, and stay at home mom in the Chicago area trying to cram all kinds of projects into the time my sons are at school. Ashford is 7, and our second baby Zach just turned 4, so things are pretty busy around here! I like slightly inappropriate humor, craft beer, and stalking house blogs. I love starting new DIY projects and sometimes hate finishing them. I love taking portraits of families, children and couples whenever I can. This blog is all about the projects my husband and I tackle, the projects that fizzle, and the funny things that happen to us along the way.
